ATOMOS Stream is designed to make live streaming to popular platforms like YouTube Live, Facebook Live and Twitch easier. You can also choose to stream to a custom RTMP destination, which allows you to connect and stream to destinations other than the platforms listed.
To select Facebook Live or Custom RTMP as a destination in ATOMOS Cloud Studio, AtomOS 10.82.00 must be installed
You can choose to work with high-end digital cinema cameras, mirrorless cameras, DSLR, USB cameras or even iOS devices and stream content live to these popular online platforms through your Atomos Cloud Studio account.
In order to stream content from your Atomos Cloud Studio account to one of these platforms, first you will need what is called a Stream Key. This is a unique code generated by each platform, that provides information on where to send the video stream. The following provides guidance on generating a stream key and setting up for streaming on each of the platforms.
Once you have successfully set up a live stream by following the steps below, the Connect menu page on your NINJA V+will display the information about the destination. Device Mode is Live Stream, Destination is the destination you are currently connected to in Atomos Cloud and Account Name will also be listed.
For guidelines on setting a custom RTMP destination on the platforms we've tested and qualified as working, refer to our Custom RTMP Compatibility and Setup Guide article on our support page https://atomos.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/5489116635791-Atomos-Cloud-Studio-Atomos-Stream-Custom-RTMP-Compatibility-and-Setup-Guide
Live Streaming is not available if ProRes RAW or H.265 are selected as the record codec. Streaming is only available when using standard video inputs like ProRes and DNx.
Changing resolutions and frame rate when Live Streaming mode is enabled may result in the stream stopping. Switching between Record and play back mode will allow the stream to restart. Press the LIVE button to stop the stream before changing inputs, resolutions or frame rates.
